The most recent set. A set of 8 size 15 tuned to the key of B, in a fitted case made by me. They are a lovely William Dunn set bought from an owner who's dad used them at a school for children with special needs. I've since split the set up to create this 8 and fully restored them. They've now gone to their new owner Sue Carpenter.
